Homeless Childrens Covenant

(07/20/11) So much bad news- about children being abused. What kind of thoughts can go thru a molesters mind Don’t they know they’ll be caught with time. Do you know how many children have run away Because in their house they could not stay. At the time they think that the streets are their escape But they don’t know that predators sit and wait. They offer you food, a roof, and a bed to sleep Once they get you - you’re in trouble deep. They will tell you that you have no value, no worth You’ve never been loved since your birth. They’ll tell you that the only thing that you can do Is give a sexual favor or two. You have no money- no food Just the clothes on your back Against you the cards have been stacked. No education and no place to live What can you offer- what do you have to give. They’ll say anything to get control They want to own you body and soul. Go to your local churches, or the YMCA If they can’t help you, they’ll recommend a way. There are places that you can go Where they can help you- more than you know. One of these is called “COVENANT HOUSE” Helping boys and girls of all ages Knowing each child has gone thru different stages. A roof, a bed, food to eat You can finally get off the streets. They can help you turn your life around And no more being put to the ground. Giving you self respect, and it gets better yet. A place where there is love abound This is the place that many have found. Many had to get out of an abusive family situation But the streets is not your salvation. There are kids younger than you What do you think they’ve gone through. Use the strength and knowledge that you have gained To help others of the same.
